C, March 10. IChairman CaM'weH, of the railway commission; 'spent last night and itoday here. He, was Very reticent, but his I purpose in comiing was to obtain cer tain important inrormation. -He at one time expected to go (to Washington, but secured here what he desired". There is naturally muc-ih interest in what the cornmiilsss!ron'. wfll do Tuesday as to the: Tna'tter of passenger fare rates.' .. There are (people who .believe the commission woll'fidt force the low ra te on -Jthe railways no w. ; The ques tion, is being very frankly asked, wheth er the people of the state have demand ed or are demanding a reduction. Not a complaint has ever been filed. .It is said the railways can" strengthen, the showing they have made in their ex ceptions, (For. dntetance, the Southern railway, has 'had to pay something like $100,000 n jufdgeme'nts. These were not covered by Its exceptions, lately ' filed. The leading railways say they are op erating some trains', at a, heavy dotes, and. that if the I rates' are cutNrnuch they mlust reiduce their ; trato service. ' The willingness of the Southern to lease the. Atlantic-and (North,- Carolina rail wa y that" is, to do what Governor Russell so' earnestly desires done is .bound up ia the rate matter. The gov ernor is aware and so is the railway ' commission J that the (Atlantic and North, Carolina railway Is an inou'bus to the state; that its 1 per cent, (in terest ds paid at the expense of its equipment; Jrhat its bridges are. def ec tive; that an accident at one of these would "swamp" the road in matter of damages and that the property may at any time be 'irtrown absolutely upon the state's hawls. ... 'All these matters are f actors in' the action of the; commissioners. As the governor putst: It Is far better to let the rate! stamfcand make a deal wjiich will gi-e the state a fair rate or rental for the Atlantic and 'North 'Carolina railway and! develop the latter line and very greatly appreciate the value elf its securities. The rate of 24 per cent, on its capital is declared by the governor to (be satisfactory and. the railway com missioners, though they 'have nothing to do , with the making of the lease, admit as much. 6 i lum ihere The superintendent of the insane asy- ahd its . executive committee met -today arici elected Miss Minnie F.
